ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
A Kentucky county clerk held in custody for nearly a week for refusing to abide by a U.S. court order demanding that she issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples was released from jail on Tuesday.
Kim Davis walked out of the Carter County Detention Center with her attorney and Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who visited with the clerk in a private meeting at the jail.
"Kim plans to return back to work. She's not going to abandon her job or her people," said her attorney Mat Staver.
